Properly managed, the agricultural sector in Europe can contribute to many of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by improving food security, reducing poverty and enhancing biodiversity. But new research shows that indicators to measure key SDGs such as health and equality are entirely missing from the EU’s most expensive funding scheme. – What gets measured, gets managed. Fro
The construction of a dam in Ethiopia could solve many problems for the growing population along the Nile. However, when the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam began, it was met with warmongering from countries downstream.

Förstfödda löper lägre risk för hjärtinfarkt och stroke än sina syskon – om antalet syskon inte överskrider tre, för då är det tvärtom. Och personer utan syskon har högre risk för hjärtinfarkt och stroke senare i livet jämfört med de som har syskon.

The increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing our climate to warm at an alarming rate. The consequent changes are unprecedented, and difficult to predict due to the complexity of the Earth system. While we know that half of the carbon emissions released to the atmosphere by fossil fuel usage are re-captured by the ocean and land ecosystems, we still lack knowledge when i
During 7-8 of May, 80 researchers within MERGE and BECC met to learn about the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and how their research can be linked, and contribute, to the implementation of the goals. We are just as far from reaching the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) as Burkina Faso. We just have different challenges.This is one of many terse quotes delivered by Katherine Richardson, pr

In a collaborative study with other European research groups, scientists from Lund University in Sweden have shed new light on how the protein aggregates that accumulate in the Parkinsonian brain may contribute to neuronal injury during disease progression. The study is published in Cell Reports. The brain is a complex organ composed of billions of neurons, whose proper function is dependent on a

An extensive study has confirmed that the risk of developing coeliac disease is connected to the amount of gluten children consume. The new study is observational and therefore does not prove causation; however, it is the most comprehensive of its kind to date. The results are presented in the prestigious journal JAMA.
